No apocryphal levity this week. Instead, a somber look into an almost-present future. For once, Tim Cook isn’t holding his cards close to his chest; he makes no secret of Apple’s interest in wearable technologies. Among the avenues for notable growth (in multiples of $10B), I think wearable devices is a good fit for Apple, more than the likable but just-for-hobbyist TV, and certainly more than the cloudy automotive domain where Google Maps could be a hard obstacle.

Apple isn’t alone, every tech company seems to be developing smart watches, smart glasses, and other health and life-style monitoring devices.

What I Do

Seductive opportunities. Perplexing challenges. Life is complex AND complicated. And in all of this, how often have you wished for a thought partner that you could talk to RIGHT NOW to both provide an outside perspective AND out-of-the box challenge to your thinking? Personally and professionally? Be it a marketing plan, a sales strategy, a problem with a board member or an issue with your self confidence?

WESTROPELEADS is a leadership and strategic advisory practice focused on distilling and applying the art and evolving science of sensemaking (literally making sense of the environment around you) as a vital development toolset for enterprise leadership – providing them a 360° ROI (self, family, community, business, customer) perspective.

Having built and led international corporate teams, my focus is to now work with enterprise management who are, or intend to be imminently, drivers of disruptive innovation – with all of the opportunities and challenges that follow. I provide a coach-approach, second-set-of-eyes perspective to accomplished individuals contemplating key decisions or events, and if appropriate, introductions to others in my network who can bias your efforts for success. It can indeed be lonely at the top, and I have the proven business experience and acumen to be your trusted confidant, mentor or advisor.

I have a Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching (CEC) from Royal Roads University's Centre for Applied Leadership and Management - an ICF (International Coach Federation) accreditation.
